Having problems with my K8N Neo4 Platinum board

Hi,
I'm at a loss of trying to figure out what is the problem, my computer comes on by itself and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or bios or maybe a virus.....anyone came across this problem before?

You can thank Bill Gates and his precious team for the gorgeous software that they have created. If you didn't know, Win is automatized to such a high degree, that it can do things by itself. Probably the OS thougth that this is a neat feature that you're missing out onto, and decided to show you the path to enlightenment
This is not correct. It is the PROM's on the network card that is configurated to enable wake on lan function. The best thing to do, is to go into your bios and select enable network PROM og network BIOS (depending on what it says), Then you'r settings will be saved, in case you reinstall windows/formats etc. This is not a windows issue, just the standard settings for the network card as it comes from the manufacturer. Bill Gates is not to blame...

  • Slow Boot problem with New K8N Neo4 Platinum HELP

    Hello,
    I just set up my new rig, the system specs are..
    amd64 3500+
    K8N Neo4 Platinum PCI-E (non SLI)
    2x80gb SATA (insockets 5 and 6) Silicon
    2x512 ram generic
    BFG 6800 Ultra OC
    antec 550 truepower
    The entire install went well.. It zipped through windows98... But when it tired to Boot windows98.. it went really really slow.. The animation bar at the bottom was chugging.. like lagging.. and took well over 10 minutes to fully load..
    I check RAM was not it.. re-connected.. was not it.. new SATA cables.. no idea any help would do.. getting impatient and tired =O must get it up tonight!

    Don't know if you or many people have seen this it's appeared over the last few days K8N Neo4 Platinum  -  NOTE: NVIDIA nForce 3/4 Series board DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME
    There are people running 98 but my own understanding was that 98 could only use a sata drive as a data drive & could not be installed on a sata drive. Where have you installed it ???
    see Win 98SE IDE problem.... Has anyone worked it out yet?

  • Problem with BIOS K8N Neo4 Platinum (PCB 1.0)

    Hi...
    I just wanna know which is the best BIOS for overclock for this motherboard... I've tried diferent BIOS versions, but i can't get FSB greater than 235 mhz...
    ps:sorry for my english

    I don't have this board at hand. So...uh I haven't tried those bios, but many guys on the forum have the experience in using 1.C or beta 1.Cx. It seems that there is not any obvious bug. However, in my opinion, the newest bios is not always the best one for your board. If not necessary, don't update bios. The stability is the most important.
    thanks...
    em... the 1.C is a beta version???
    i think i will try the 1.B version...

    Hey Guys,
    I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
    By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
    Just my $.02
    Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

    Seems like i am having the same problem on My K8N Neo4 Platinum, actually i built 3 identical rigs.  And i am having the same problem as above.  What i did to get around the problem was connect My Sata II hard drives to the orange slots on the mobo, and run them as raid0 and everything works, i dont know why i can run it on the purple slots without raid.

  • Bluetooth problem with msi K8N Neo4-54G

    I buy a msi K8N Neo4-54G and it was said on the box : "MSI Dual-Net Card (World First 802.11g+Bluetooth on single PCI Card)"

    You may firstly clear cmos and load defaults in the bios, and if it is available, please attach us a picture of the screen which the issue occurred when you hit enter during the its detecting the SATA hard disk. I am a little confused about what you said. Please tell me what changes have you made before the issue took place. I just want to help, so do many other people. But please firstly give us more detailed information.
    I did it and nothing! Should I restore the original bios version that came with the mother?
    I'll explain the problem: You enter BIOS, go to the disk properties (where says LBA, LARGE, CYLINDERS, HEAD, etc) and hit enter, usually the screen goes blue and shows a line at the bottom of the screen (they are like triangles pointing downside) and 2 seconds after everithing comes back showing the data of the disk ok? Well, now it hangs forever in the "triangles pointing downside" part and I have to restart the machine...
    Does this belongs to the issue of the K8n neo4 platinum with the maxtor hdd's ??? The mobo is malfunctioning?
    Please helpppp! Thanks!

    The hype was these boards would be available at the begining of December, and that, after some minor delays/setbacks.  I've been playing with parts ment for the NV4 based systems since the begining of December.   MSI used to send me test boards direct from Taiwan to debug and stress--hell, I couldn't even get them to answer emails let alone send a test board.

  • Lan issues with the K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard

    New K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard. 
    After three or four hours the connection started to get unstable.  I am a high end gamer and any net slowdown I see and feel.   
    Using my "Ping Plotter" program i saw the issue.  The first hop to my router was going from 0 to 47ms.  On all of the other conputers on this network hop one stays at 0.
    In looking at the over all ping to my game server I noted that when hop 0 went to 47 it messed up all of the other hops and made the connection to my game server unstable.
    The odd thing is I bypassed the onboard nic's and installed a PCI nic and it did the same thing.
    I got with MSI and they had ne updare the NVIDA drivers.  This lowered the swing to 0-17.  I removed the PCI lan and am now back with the onboard nic.  I have replaced the DSL modem, cable and removed the dlink and the issue is still the same.
    This is my first computer with XP and at this point I do not know if this is an XP issue or a driver issue. 
    In installing a pci nic some of the network control is still done on the motherboard so that does not rule out a motherboard/chipset driver issue.
    I have set up a web site that shows screen shots of the ping plotter.  Please take the time to look at them and tell me what you think.

    Hello !!
    Please give more information about your system specs.
    But i would try the following:
    Download the latest nforce and vga drivers from nvidia ( if you are using nv VGA card ? ). Google for "driver cleaner" and download it.
    Restart system and press F8 to enter safe mode. Now uninstall all nvidia drivers(chipset & VGA), and run Driver Cleaner after it. Select the nvidia tabs and remove them....
    Now reboot, when prompted to install new drivers cancel this process. And start nvidia chipset driver setup, install all drivers but do not install the IDE driver from nvidia, you will be prompted for this.In first attempt you should not install nvidia firewall. Restart and install VGA drivers. Now test again your network connection. I hope it helps....

  • RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

    Hi Folks,
        I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago.  The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine.  The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound.  My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out.  Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
        First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working?  Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on?  Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
        Thanks in advance for the help!
    Clark 

    Couple of things come to mind.  Power on the system and head on' over to the bios.  Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled. 
    Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....)  If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed.  If it's listed as working 'ok'?  I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output.  In the manual it's listing as follows:
    "If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports.  Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function"  That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector.  And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
    Best of luck!

  • Can I put an old 20GB IDE HD into the K8N NEO4 Platinum Board ?

    I was just wondering if you can install a old Maxtor 20Gb IDE hard drive into a brand new system built around the K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) and used it in conjunction with a brand new Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA150 80Gb hard drive, for a total hard drive space of 100Gb ?
    if it possible for new sata and old ide hard drives to co-exists in the same system ?

    Quote from: syar2003 on 23-January-06, 05:00:53
    Yes , you can do that .
    Only advise is to put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable .
    You would want to install th OS on the sata drive , make sure not to have the ide disk connected during install
    or it will host the OS system files and become the system disk (default win installer choice to take the first drive it sees , and
    ide is always prior to satas in bios).
    Then after OS is all setup , shut down and connect the remaining disks .
    So the procedure would be, to install the sata drive first, the optical drives in IDE secondary and when everythings done, the old 20Gb drive in the primary IDE, its that the way of it ?
    what do you mean by "put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable" ?

  • Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

    I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
    It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
    Here are the details of my system:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
    Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
    2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
    Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
    PSU Antec Sonata 380W
    HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
    HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
    HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
    Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
    BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
    P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

    Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
    Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

  • The same old problem with temperatures (K8N Neo Platinum)

    I have problems since bios v1.0 on my K8N Neo Platinum with temeparutes.
    I have installed a Prometeia Mach II St colling unit
    I Tested the v1.0 official bios, the temperature was allways -65º full ou idle, what it is impossivel.
    In the moment i flashed the bios to v1.2b5, temperature changed to 49º, and I did not move in nothing. The same temperature appears in all bios since v1.2b5. Now I have the v1.4b2 bios
    Sorry the Bad English

    Here are the instructions to reflash the BIOS for your K8 Neo. I am currently running ver.1.4 with little problems. My only snafu is the LED for my optical mouse stays lit even when system is off, however I have no RAID, Ethernet, onboard sound, or SATA drives. I have just a simple basic system, and I don't overclock. My board is the K8 Neo Platinum socket 754, with an AMD64 3000+. YOU MUST HAVE A FLOPPY DRIVE CONNECTED TO SYSTEM FOR THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO WORK!.
    Flashing BIOS on K8 Neo per MSI. READ ALL instructions before starting.
    1.Check your BIOS for flashing protection and disable it.
    2. Know your board model#. a. Open case and find model# on the board between the PCI slots, or b., boot system and at first DOS screen you will see 'W7030ver1.4122101'. This means you have a MSI model 7030 motherboard with BIOS version 1.4 issued on 12/21/01.
    3.Download the Bios that matches your motherboard model and version#.(I believe the Neo Plat had two versions, 1.0 and 1.1). I have 1.0. It will be found between the PCI slots. Create a folder on C: drive labeled 'C:\TEST'
    4.EXtract the BIOS file to C:\TEST folder.
    5.Create a boot floppy. For XP, at Desktop double click My Computer, right click floppy drive, click Format to format the disk, then click 'Create MS-DOS Boot Disk'.
    6. Set boot order to floppy. Hit F11 to select boot device.
    7. Insert boot floppy and restart system.
    8. At A:\ prompt type in the following,
    C:\ (enter)
    cd\TEST(enter)
    awdfl833c(space)w7030nms.130
    The w7030nms.130 is the BIOS file name you downloaded to C:\TEST. Keep in mind you're dealing with DOS file names, so you may need to open a DOS window in Windows, and search C drive for the TEST folder and write down the DOS file name of the BIOS file BEFORE you start the BIOS update.
    9. Reboot when prompted. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to update the BIOS.

  • A few bios problems with my 915p Neo2 platinum board

    I'm wondering af anyone here can help me.
    I just got a new system and a friend of mine helped set up the bios for me, afterwards he failed to tell me how he had configured the bios (my first big mistake).
    Since the buidling of the system there have been 3 short beeps at the beginning of startup. I was told that it was a warning system of some sort and when i looked it up, the informations pointed towards a problem with the RAM.
    I ran memtest86 and it found no problems with the RAM, so i contacted the site i bought the parts from and they suggested i reset the bios.
    I did so and the beeps remained, but my DVD and DVD-writer drives arent being detected anymore.
    I took my PC around to another friends house with only his keyboard and monitor connected. The beeping had stopped before we changed anything. Bringing it back around to my house resulted in the beeping returning.
    From this i gathered that the only things different may have been his power source and the peripherals i have attached to the back of the case. (speakers, printer, kb/m, etc)
    Going by the manual map, my 2 HDDs are connected as slave/master in IDE port 1 and my two DVD drives are connected to the yellow IDE port that is closest to IDE port 1 (it's either IDE 2 or 3, the map isnt too clear on which is which).
    Long story short, can anyone help me in identifying the source of the beeps and their meaning, an optimum setup for my bios and how to get my DVD drives to work.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I'm fairly new to building computers and my friends are the type to suddenly become unavailable as soon as a problem arises.
    edit: just noticed i missed the spec description part menitoned in the rules.
    MSI s775 915P-Neo2-Platinum
    Version 1.4 of bios
    Pentium 4 540 LGA775 3.2GHz

    MSI 4x DVD-RW +/- (part no: G57-CB00243, this is all i could find on this part form the box)
    Sound Blaster Audigy
    Windows XP SP2
    second attempt at clearing up the garbled mess from above.
    Motherboard is making 3 short beeps on startup. Indication of a problem with memory. I've established that it's something external that causing the beeps as the memory has checked out fine with memtest86. Hence i will be checking all the attached devices.
    I was guided to reset the bios in an attempt to clear up this problem above. Doing so has resulted in my bios being unable to detect my DVD drives.
    My DVD-drives are connected to IDE port 2/3 (manual is unclear on which is which).
    Everything was in working order (with the exception of the beeping) before the bios was reset but due to my lack of knowledge/involvement with the original configuration of the bios, i'm at a loss as to how to fix it.
    If anyone could recommend me any updates for the bios, or could advise me on how to configure my bios accordingly to the parts i have i would be most appreciative. Also, if osmeone would be abel to shed some light on the beeping issue i would be thankful also.

    I saw this and was wondering if i should install it. It would be the equivelent of resetting the bios again wouldnt it? So it wouldnt be that much of a step back from where i am at the moment and it might be able to sort my IDE problems.

  • Stability Problems with a K8N Neo4 System

    I just purchased the following system:
    MSI K8N Neo4-F
    Athlon 64 3200+ Venice
    1GB Corsair 2.5 CAS PC3200 (400)
    MSI Radeon x800 256MB
    WD 7200 RPM 80G HD
    Antec True430
    NEC 2500 DVDR
    I installed XP Pro and had just about all of my drivers installed when I began to see random lock ups where the mouse and everything would freeze without coming out. I would reboot, the same thing would happen. I reinstalled windows again. Same. I swapped the PSU, thinking it could be that, but no avail. I had the memory in the 2 green slots, which seemed wrong, so I switched it to green 1 and purple 1. I switched the voltage on the ram down to 2.5v. Nothing has seemed to help yet... I'm still getting these freezes, any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I got the same problems. Suddenly there was no response to my keyboard and mouse.
    I tested the memory with memtest86, but no problems showed up.
